These sorts of issues are very important because to the public, it conveys a mixed message. For example, if your organization is an environmental nonprofit, yet you don't use recycled paper, how can you expect others to do so? Same thing goes for a GLBT nonprofit that doesn't provide domestic partner benefits. This can also relate to board members and fundraising- how can you ask others to give to your organization, when you yourself are not a donor? Nonprofit organizations should make sure that they are living their mission in their everyday work.

If anyone knows of any nonprofit ironies, please feel free to post them in the comment section.
